David Schwacher,
Sgt Major, you are a true Ametican hero, I am proud to have served in the Corps during the 1980’s. Thank you for accepting me as family, being my friend and fellow Marine. Remember, when you get to heaven, tell St. Peter, another Marine reporting, that you served your time in hell. Semper Fi
